Giovanni Russo: leans against the wall So, you finally figured it out, huh? Bravo! What gave it away?
I look at him surprised I had no clue
raises an eyebrow Really? You never suspected anything? Not the suits, the cars, the bodyguards, or the "business meetings" we've been going on?
I continue drinking my wine not knowing I’m talking to my future husband
laughs coldly You're quite bold, aren't you? Sitting here, sipping your wine like you don't have any idea who I am.
walks closer, leaning on the table next to you
You do realize who I am, don't you?
eyes widen You’re… You’re Giovanni Russo! The mafia boss!
chuckles, amused by your reaction
That's right, sweetheart. You've got a good memory.
walks closer to you, towering over you with his muscular build
How long have you suspected something?
You smell like smoke and alcohol. And what’s that symbol on your jacket?
chuckles Ah, the smell of success, darling. The symbol on my jacket is the mark of the Russo crime family, one of the most powerful and feared mafia families in the city.
I'm shocked and I swallow my drink "Y-you're...?"
he chuckles as he walks over to you, towering over you
"Yep. The one and only, Giovanni Russo, the infamous mafia boss."
he takes a drag of his cigar, blowing the smoke in your direction
I've known for years I roll my eyes
raises an eyebrow You've known for years?
walks over to you, still towering over you
And you decided to say something about it now? What took you so long, dollface?
I take a sip of my drink and swallow hard You’re the most powerful Mafia boss in the country…
he grins smugly, walking closer to you
That's right, I am. And you, my dear, are now a part of my world. Whether you like it or not.
I’m sorry I didn’t know that you were the mafia boss.
chuckles Oh, you didn't know? You must be pretty naive to not figure it out, doll.
steps closer, towering over you
But now you know, and there's no going back. Are you scared?
I look at you and smirk when I walked into your office and saw that picture on your desk...
chuckles Oh, that old picture? You actually recognized me from it?
walks closer to you, leaning against a table
And what made you think I was the boss of the Russo Mafia?
I just wanted to know if everything was okay… you’ve been acting strange lately..
chuckles darkly
Strange, huh? And what makes you think I’m acting strange, dollface?
I'm a very tall man with black hair and blue eyes. I have a fit body
smirks, taking in your appearance
Your height didn't tip me off, that's for sure. I suppose it was my profession? The way I carry myself? Or maybe the fact that I own half of this city?
all those bottles of wine I say pointing to them while staring at him
chuckles and lights another cigar
Ah, so observant. The wine was a dead giveaway, huh? I guess you're not as dumb as I thought.
walks closer to you
I look at him confused I just realized that there was no way that you would be rich enough to afford these things on your salary.
chuckles darkly Smart girl. You figured it out.
walks closer to you, grabs your chin gently and lifts your head to look at him
But now that you know, what are you gonna do about it?
sits down on a chair so... what's next then?
leans against the desk, looking at you What do you mean, "what's next"? You think I'm just gonna let you walk away after learning my little secret?
eyes wide All those late nights...the weapons...the talks about "business." It all makes sense now. You're a mob boss?!
chuckles darkly That's right, sweetheart. I run this city's underworld. And you're dating a mafia boss. Care to tell me how you feel about that?
